Lukas 12 - The Orthodox Jewish Bible(TOJB2011)

1Meanwhile, when the multitudes by the thousands assembled, to the point of trampling one another, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said this in a yechidus first to his talmidim, Be shomer regarding the chametz of the Perushim, which is their tzeviut (hypocrisy).

2And nothing that men hide in a cover up is concealed which will not be revealed, and nothing held nistar (hidden) which will not be laid bare.

3So then, what things you said in the choshech, will be heard in the ohr; and what you whispered in the ear bchadrei chadarim (in a most secret place) will be shouted from the roof tops.

4I say to you, my chaverim, do not have pachad (terror) of the killers of the basar, who after that have nothing more they can do.

5But I will show you someone of whom you should have yirah; fear the One who after killing the basar has the samchut to throw into Gehinnom. Ken, I say to you, have yirah (fear) of this One.

6Are not chamesh sparrows sold for two assarion? And not even one of them has been overlooked in the eynayim of Hashem.

7But even the hairs of your rosh have all been inventoried. Never fear. You are of more worth than many sparrows.

8And I say to you, whoever will declare the Ani Maamin public hoda'ah (acknowledgement) of me before Bnei Adam, the Bar Enosh

13And someone out of the multitude said to him, Rabbi, speak to my ach to share with me the yerushah (inheritance).

14But he said to him, Ben Adam, who appointed me a shofet or an arbitrator over you?

15And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Take care and be shomer against all chamdanut (covetousness), because the Chayyei HaAdam does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. has daas (knowledge) that you need these things.

31But seek the Malchut Hashem, and these things will be added to you as well.

32Do not have pachad (terror, fear), Eder Katan (Little Flock), because it is the ratzon, the chefetz (desire) of your Av to give you the Malchut.

33Sell your possessions and give tzedakah. Make for yourselves the baitel (wallet) that doesn't wear out, an inexhaustible otzar (treasure) in Shomayim, where no ganav (thief) comes near nor moth destroys.

34For where your otzar (treasure) is, there also will be your lev (heart).

35Tighten your gartels for action and have your menorahs lit.

36And you should be like bnei Adam who expectantly khakeh l'vo'o shel (await the arrival of) their Adon when he returns from the Chasunoh, in order that, when he comes and knocks, ofen ort they may open the delet for him.

37Ashrey are those avadim (servants), whom, having come, the Adon will find keeping shomer. Omein, I say to you, that he will fasten his gartel, and have those avadim (servants) sit down to tish, and he will come and serve them.

38And if in the second or if in the third watch he comes and finds it thus, ashrey (happy, blessed) are those.

39But have daas of this, that if the Baal Bayit had had da'as in what hour the ganav (thief) comes, he would not have allowed his bais to be broken into.

40So you be shomer, for the Bar Enosh

49I came to throw Eish on the earth, and how I wish it was already kindled!

50And I have a tevilah I have to undergo, and how I am distressed until it is completed.

51Do you think that I came to bring Shalom on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather machaloket (division, controversy).

52For there will be from now in one bais (household) chamesh (five) having been divided, shalosha against shenayim and shenayim against shalosha,

53AV will be divided against BEN and BEN against AV, EM (mother) against BAT and BAT against EM, KALLAH BACHAMOT (daughter-in-law against mother-in-law) and CHAMOT against KALLAH.

54And he was saying also to the multitudes, When you see the anan rising over the maarav (west), ofen ort you say, Geshem (rain) is coming, and so it happens.

55And when there is a south wind blowing, you say, It will be kham (hot), and it happens.

56Tzevu'im! You have daas how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you do not have daas of how to interpret HaZman HaZeh (This Time)?

57And why also for yourselves do you not judge what is yashar (straight, right)?

58For as you go with your ish riv (opponent in a lawsuit) to appear before the magistrate, on the derech make an effort to settle with him, lest he drag you to the shofet, and the shofet will hand over you to the shoter, and the shoter will throw you into the beit hasohar.

59I say to you, by no means may you come out, until even the last peruta (small coin) you pay back.
